I was hoping some right wing publication would go with the hilariously false idea that the pipeline would create a significant number of US jobs and new energy production. I'm glad the Examiner didn't disappoint.

Not to mention no number of jobs are worth having flammable water.

This has nothing to do with the Canadian pipeline for oil sands. This is about fracking. But I bet that it will be approved in the spring time so the jobs numbers will look improved just in time for the election. It is completely political.

It really doesn't matter how many jobs the pipeline will generate. They are the wrong kind of jobs and Obama will be having none of that.

FireBreathingLiberal: And for good reason, as one home in Cleveland, Ohio actually exploded after gas seeped into its water well.

I never knew there was hydraulic fracking going on in Cleveland.

Some of us won't be dying within the next 5 years and need a planet to live on.

i was disappointed to learn that i'm not allowed to take the lucrative job of "toxic waste in your drinking water dumper" because apparently that's been regulated out. then i applied for a job of "ass rape anyone i want" but just as i was about to get hired, the company went under because apparently ass rape, while lucrative, is bad for everyone.

god damned fartbama

Angry Drunk Bureaucrat: GAT_00: Not to mention no number of jobs are worth having flammable water.

Don't you see? This is long term job creation! First they frack for gas (job creation). Then the EPA needs to hire more people to monitor the frackers (job creation). Then somebody needs to remediate the pollution created (job creation). Then somebody has to foreclosure on all the farms that can't be used anymore because of the pollution (job creation). Then somebody has to come around 50 years later after the dormant wells start leaking or previously undisclosed toxic materials are found and remediate again (job creation). Then somebody has to come up with all new treatments for the new types of cancers that are appearing in the populations around the old wells (job creation).

It's not just a win; it's a win-win-win-win-win-win!

Do gorillas that freeze in the winter enter into this equation somewhere?

That sounds like something a Washington bureaucrat would say.

200,000 jobs. What a load of Grade A bullplop.

they use the Examiner as toilet paper in Union Station right down from Capitol Hill.

Here's 1,100 real Ohio jobs that wouldn't otherwise exist. Thanks, auto bailout. Link (new window)

downpaymentblues: If you want to see the effects of fracking already destroying communities, go to propublica.org and visit their fracking section.

I was just digging around on propublica.org in their fracking section and found this from PBS. I hadn't know that fracking was that destructive.

Interesting piece on land rights, regulation and of course Halliburton

/thanks for the link

Lets hope everyone wants a Liberty *snicker*.

Meanwhile in San Antonio...

And increased seismic instability.

And you see why Republicans are trying to push through "jobs" bills that are actually "get rid of regulations" bills.

Poison the people for profit!

Dancin_In_Anson: Meanwhile in San Antonio...

Yes, there is more than one company in the United States that employees people. I'm not sure what your point was. But go you.

Zombie Butler: Not in Cleveland but close.

So in other words this kind of thing has been know to happen naturally.

Dusk-You-n-Me: Yes, there is more than one company in the United States that employees people

And it was done without a bailout. Hmph. Go figure.

But wait! There's more!

The Dog Ate My Homework: We should legalize child pornography because it will create thousands of new jobs and fulfill a demand that has gone unsatisfied for years. If you oppose this idea, you are clearly a socialist who hates America and its workers.

be careful, there are some conservative leaders who would probably take that as an earnest offer.

Yes, we get it, you work for an oil company. We're so proud.

Dancin_In_Anson: And it was done without a bailout. Hmph. Go figure.

And those 1,110 Ohio jobs exist thanks to the bailout. Thanks to your President.

But wait, there's more.

-The U.S. solar industry now employs over 100,000 people (more than the coal industry).

-The U.S. solar industry is the fastest-growing industry in the country (creating jobs 10 times faster than the rest of the U.S. economy).

-There are over 5,000 solar companies across the U.S., some in every state.

-Solar PV installations have grown 69% over the last year (40 times faster than the U.S. economy as a whole).

-The U.S. solar energy industry is a net exporter, by $2 billion (and is even a net exporter to China).

We've been investing in renewable clean energy and it's been paying off. Thanks to your President.

cameroncrazy1984: you work for an oil company

Wrong again. But the energy sector is vital to my region.
